We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers．Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way we had to stop at the traffic lights and there my wife saw the bookshelf．
It stood outside a furniture （家具）shop．"Buy it，" she said at once．"We’ll carry it home on the roof rack（车顶行李架） I’ve always wanted one like that "
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer，and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack．It was tall and narrow，quite heavy too．
As it was getting darker，I drove slowly．Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening．The police even stopped traffic to let us through．Carrying furniture was a good idea ．
After a time my wife said，"There’s a long line of cars behind．Why don’t they overtake?"
Just at that time a police car did overtake．The two officers inside looked at us seriously when they went past．But then，with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic．The police car stopped at our village church．One of the officers came to me．
"Right，sir，"he said "Do you need any more help now?"
I didn’t quite understand "Thanks，officer，" I said．"You’ve been very kind．I live just down the road"
He was looking at our things：first at the flowers，then at the bookshelf．"Well，well，" he said and laughed．"It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was ~ eh something else "
My wife began to laugh．Suddenly I understood why the police drove here．They had mistaken the bookshelf for a coffin（棺材）
I smiled at the officer．"Yes，it’s a bookshelf，but thanks again．" I drove home as fast as I could．

查看习题详情和答案>>doing this because of gas prices, a slowing economy and concerns about the environment. Andy
Clark is the executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling
for fun, fitness and transportation.
Mister Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does
not burn fossil fuel or create dangerous pollutants. Experts say the effects are the most important on
short trips. The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers
or fewer to work. Shorter car trips release more pollution into the air for each kilometer driven. This
is because the device in a car that produces the harmfulness of emissions needs to warm up before it
can work well.
Last year, the Pacific Northwest city of Portland, Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle
commuters(通勤者) in the United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many
years to create special paths for bike riders.
Andrew Land is one of Portland's citizens who bikes to work every day. Mister Land is thirty-three
years old and has never owned a car. He has biked to work for twelve years. Before moving to
Portland six years ago, he lived in Washington D.C. But he was hit by a car twice while biking to
work there. That has not happened in Portland where there are special; roads for bicycles. Mister
Land bought a house near these special bike lanes. He rides almost five kilometers to work each day
. He also uses the sixty-four kilometer bike path around the city.
Andrew Land rides a cyclocross bike. He says it combines the best parts of a racing bike and a
mountain bike. You might say that Andrew Land is " into bikes". He recently attended a show of
handmade bicycle frames (结构). It was organized by thirty bicycle frame builders in Portland. And
he attended a legal rights workshop for bicyclists.
